<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi Anne,<div>You are calling equiv_sample_size (which we usually recommend), and then your are calling wgt_areaave to arrive at one number:</div><div><div><span style="white-space:pre"> </span> xEqv = equiv_sample_size (jfm_s, sigr, 0)</div><div><span style="white-space:pre"> </span> yEqv = equiv_sample_size (jfm_c, sigr, 0)</div></div><div><div><span style="white-space:pre"> </span> xN = wgt_areaave (xEqv, 1., 1., 0) ; wgty could be gaussian weights </div><div><span style="white-space:pre"> </span> yN = wgt_areaave (yEqv, 1., 1., 0) </div><div> prob = 100.*(ttest(ave_s, VAR_s, xN, ave_c, VAR_c, yN, iflag, tval_opt))<br></div></div><div><br></div><div>To simplify things you could replace xN and yN with 10 (=the number of ensemble members, or sample size). But note: Depending on the field you are looking at 10 samples is not a large number, especially if there is high autocorrelation. This also might result in values coming out of equiv_sample_size = 1 or 0, which might cause issues in the ttest function.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps.
